THE NORTON SHIPBUILDING CoMPANY.-
A Washington letter in the Boston Herald
says
But there is one enterprise here which
really seems to have u deal of solid merit
l refer to the Norton system of building
ships, yachts aud especially lileboats. This
company has successful and practical man
al its head, and the invention which it ia
developing has already gained large de-
gree of support and recognition. both in Eu-
rope and the United States. Captain Nor
ton, the inventor, proposes 10 give to yes
sells OF every sort greatly increased safety
aud stability by his system OF water ballast.
He builds series of mir chambers in the
sides of his Vessel, with all oritice at the
lowest point. AS the vessel siukS IN the
water the wafer cutters the cir chamber,
COMPRISING the mir, which acts as an elastic
cushion, preventing To large degree the
rolling and unsieadiues5 which are encoun-
tered whenever the vessel goes into rough
water When the vessel tips on the star.
board the air in the chamber on that side is
compressed and tends TO buoy it up, while
the water which is retained in the
chambers on the port side acts as ballast TO
prevent it from rising much above its nor
nal position. Even small boats bnilt in
this way are practically non-sinkab!e rs we'll
rs non capsizable. Capt. Norton believes
that as soon as it becomes fully understood
that yachts built upon his plan are abso.
iuiely safe from being upset by squall, no
one will build u pleasure boat except upon
his syslem He has formed a company with
the moderate capital Of S2o0UO. which
owns the rights for New York, New Jersey
and the New England States, and this COM
pany is already paying II per cent. upon
the invested capital Another company
has been formed, with the headquarters
here, TO control the rights for Maryland
aud the southern Atlantic coast. Several
small vessels are now in course OF con-
structon at Alexandria, and the company
is going ahead prosperously. Capt. Patten,
of Maine, the late commissioner Of naviga-
ton, tells me that he regards the system as
very valuable one, and he expects TO see
it generally introduced. Capt. Norton,
who is wealthy man himself, has received
very hattering official reports from several
foreign countries, and has reason to believe
that the adoption of his system for lile-boats
is probable all over Europe. He is con-
WINGED that it can be applied TO armor.clad
ships, and that they can be rendered nom
sinkable by means of it. Many naval
officers who have examined it are convinced
that his ideas are sound, and some OF them
have invested considerable sums of money
in the stock of the parent company and OF
the Virginia company also. The shipbuild-
ers of Bath have been looking into it, and 1T
is expected that boat building, on this sys-
tenn will begin on a large scale in the vicin-
ity of Boston soon.

Justly INCENsED.-The cigar makers
and tobaCconsts ofthis city are exasperatei
in no slight degree by the eXertions of 8
man named Sam. Wimsatt to divert the
cigar trade from this city TO Washington.
AS is well known, the cigar makers unions
have long since ceased to be under
the tutelage of the knights OF labor and
have for some time been enjoying existence
apart from the "paternal care" or the dicta'
tions of such assemblages. Wimsatt
claims to be n walking delegate" for WASH
iugton, and few days ago came 10 this
city where he entered a well-known
cigar factory and began talking with
one of the proprietors, during which
Wimsatt asked the manufacturer why he
did not conduct his business under the pat
ronage of the knights of labor, or, in other
words, why he did not see to IL that his en-
ployees belonged to or became subject to
that organization He was told that the
men employed in the factory were members
of the cigar makers union, were satisfied
with their wages. had no grievances to urge
against those for whom they worked and
were calculated to get along we'll enough
without rushing under the protective
wings of the knights OF labor. Then
Wimsatt put another interrogation TO
the manufacturer, this time asking him why
he did not repudiate all claims OF the cigar
makers union, put to work whom he
pleased, whether they were members OF the
union or not, and make his factory "knIghts
OF labor" establishment, so that 1t could be
under the guidance and protection OF that
body. The proprietor parried this question
Dy replying that things about his place oil
business were working satisfactorily 10 all
parties concerned, and that no experiments
or changes were likely to he made by either
employees or employers. Wimsatt, beilled
ia his attempts TO stir up contention among
people willing to work, though he has man
aged to fight oil the execution OF natures
sentence upon himself for many years, next
went to the officers of the various steamboats,
running OH the Potomac and charged each
in the name of the organization he claims to
represent, to buy no cigars not bearing the
knights of labor" trade mark. Should the
gentlemen who purchase for those steamers
carry out this mandate they will, OF course,
buy no cigars here, rs none are made IN
Alexandria, bearing the mark OF the
knights. 1t will thus be seen that those
very people who year or two ago pre-.
tended to be the especial champions OF
Labor's rights are now doing all they can
to deprive Alexandria Of what little business
she does enjoy by counseling and ordering
persons to cease buying her manufactures.
Charges have, it is understood. been pre-
ferred against Wimsatt in the lodge here,
aud efforts are being maze to expel him, on
the ground that he is seriously interfering
with the workmen of this city in their law
ful occupations.

Harvey, the MugWump.

4 II appears that the man, Oscar J. Har-
svcy, who has been detected and is now un-
dr indictment for forgery committed in
the h0rse claims division of the treasury
department., was not Democrat, but a
sNuswump. Moreover the papers on file
regarding his appointment, show that his
ehief Democratic sponsor was samuel J.
Randall. Harvey seems to have been
known as a rascal around Wilkesbarre,
where he lived, and when his appointment
Was made, Mr.. L. G. Scott, a prominent
lawyer there, made public charges against
him which, however, were CLOSED over
at Washington by Harvey's friends.
Z The recommendation of rascal to office,
whose Democracy only began with the
Cleveland campaign, is not wise act for
even Q statesman of Mr.. Randall's intiu-
sncs. This following upon the heels of
the efforts in behalf of Josephs for marshal
sof the Eastern district of Pennsylvania, is
calculated to make the powers that be in
Washington somewhat chary of accepting
M. Randall's estimate of mans capa.
bllity for holding office.
